I believe there is a thread about pet stories, pics, etc. I'll take a look, and maybe someone has run across it recently?
Hi there !

For me, the light boxes do seem to work. I'm not even sure why, I put a lot of stock in the power of placebo. If you think something may work, sometimes it just clicks something off in your brain. I brought mine almost a decade ago and it still works just as good.
Sometimes the first month is the hardest. Mentally, we'll soon be at the point where the days start getting longer. At least that's what I try to fake my brain into thinking

I do the same thing with repeating to myself that the longer days are coming. I also hit my mind with as many hard facts as I can on the subject. I have a poster of 'sunrise/sunset times" on my wall. I replace it every year with the latest one. Even though the days are growing every so slowly longer right now (about 1 minute per day), I am psyched over that fact. It gives my mind the impression that we are heading toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Regards, RM
